Before leaving, Sun Youwei said to Yihe with a solemn face: "You go to the 'Cuide Garden' to rest for a few days, and I won't be embarrassed by you, and I will come to redeem you when I figure it out," Yihe didn't speak, just nodded gently, and after explaining, Sun Youwei took the carriage back to his home in the west of the city.

When they returned to Sun's house, several people didn't want to say more, Sun Youwei walked like a back room without saying a word, Qingyu naturally wouldn't blame Sun Youwei for neglecting himself at this time, Yizhu's departure hit him very hard, and the slight inconsiderate things were also worth understanding, and he went back to the house with Zhou Jin to rest.

Sun Youwei came to his mother Wei's room, "Hi..." with a long sigh, he slowly pushed open the door, and a stream of incense and candles came to his face, which made Sun Youwei, who was restless, feel a rare sense of quiet, and the room was filled with smoke like a dojo.

In the "fog", Wei reverently knelt in front of the Bodhisattva statue and recited the scriptures in his mouth, holding the Buddha beads in one hand and knocking on the wooden fish with the other hand.

Silently chanted in his mouth: "May the Bodhisattva bless Yizhu to be a good family in the next life, she is too pitiful in this life and asks the Bodhisattva to be merciful." Sun Youwei, who has never believed in gods and Buddhas, bowed deeply three times in front of the Bodhisattva statue.

Seeing this, Wei Shi just finished doing the rituals, and asked softly: "You don't usually come here, since you have come, there must be something, tell me something, what do you want to tell your mother." ”

Sun Youwei hurriedly helped Wei up from the futon, and blamed himself very much: "Because of my matter, a girl lost her life, and I feel very guilty in my heart, and I don't know how to come to the Bodhisattva to seek transcendence." ”

Wei sighed and said, "Hey......... It's really a sin, I want my Wei to eat fasting and chant Buddha, not hurting a flower or a tree, in order to accumulate blessings, and now my son has committed a crime and affected her life, and the good karma of my life is considered to be a catastrophe. ”

Sun Youwei knelt on the ground and said sadly: "Mother, the girl's life was not killed by the child's own hands, but it was killed because of the child. ”

Wei interrupted Sun Youwei's speech angrily: "Shut up, you still dare to use strong words, don't you know, 'You didn't kill Boren Boren but died because of you'?" Is your conscience at ease? ”

Seeing Wei's anger, Sun Youwei hurriedly explained: "Mother, the child is not to shirk responsibility, to come here is to repent to the Bodhisattva and ask for the Bodhisattva's forgiveness, one to seek peace of mind, and the other to wish the Bodhisattva to bless the girl to be reincarnated in a good family in the next life, she has lived too hard in this life, and the child is willing to exchange the happiness of her life for the Bodhisattva's manifestation." ”

The cycle of karma was unhappy, seeing that Sun Youwei had realized the "guilt" he had committed, Wei's anger was not as great as just now, so that Sun Youwei, who was kneeling on the ground, stood up and spoke, Wei asked, "How did you deal with this?" ”

Sun Youwei said: "I buried the girl, she has a 'sister' for me to take care of, and I agreed, the murderer has been caught by the government." ”

"Well, it's reasonable for you to handle this matter, by the way, you have to send some silver taels to his family, which can be regarded as appeasing the pain of the family's loss of daughter."

After knowing the matter, Wei gave Sun Youwei an eviction order: "Okay, okay, you who don't burn incense on weekdays don't know if it's useful to come to hold Buddha's feet temporarily, you better go out quickly, don't let the Bodhisattva rush with anger." ”

Coming out of Wei's place, Sun Youwei's heart was a little calmer, not like he had lost his soul just now, and when Sun Youwei walked away, Wei knelt on the ground and said to the Bodhisattva: "The great compassion of Guanyin Xinnu is willing to exchange my son's yin virtue with the Qing Xiu of the first life, I hope you can fulfill the wish of the believer for the sake of filial piety on weekdays." As he spoke, he kowtowed heavily on the ground.

Three days later, the Yamen of the Jinhua Prefect's Mansion, the people who flocked to the door of the hall surrounded the water, and the government posted the notice on the bulletin board early in the morning, and today was going to interrogate Liu San'er and others, so the people who were bullied by him on weekdays all came over to see the fate of this villain, Sun Youwei, Qingyu and other four people rushed to the government early and stood in the front, a group of people gathered at the door of the government and talked about something from time to time, Qingyu listened carefully to a few words are telling Liu San'er about the evil deeds committed by Liu San'er over the years, Recalling what he and Zhou Jin did in Songlin County, although it was still a little worse than Liu San'er, it was also disturbing, and then looked at Liu San'er's current situation, and secretly made up his mind to get rid of this bad habit, "The will of the people must not be bullied, and the will of the people must not be violated." "Qingyu deeply understands the strength of the people and the great impact it has brought to itself.

The commotion at the entrance of the yamen was like a vegetable shop, but as the yacha shouted, "The prefect has arrived." Everyone immediately fell silent, as if nothing had happened at the entrance of the yamen like a vegetable market had never happened.

The prefect was sure to let people bring Liu San'er and the tumor to the lobby, goodbye Liu San'er's hair on his head has grown a lot, people have lost weight, presumably the food in the prison is not used to eating, mental malaise must have happened Liu San'er also had a premonition that he was about to come to a catastrophe, and the group of people kneeling in the hall were trembling, and the arrogant and domineering arrogance of the past no longer existed, and now they have become "water dogs." ”

When the onlookers saw Liu San'er being brought to the hall, someone immediately shouted: "Kill him, kill him", and the others also shouted, and the prefect was afraid of causing big trouble, and slapped the table with a startled wood, and shouted: "Quiet, if you make any more noise, you will be sentenced to contempt of the court," Seeing that the prefect was angry, everyone did not say anything more, and the hall became quiet.

The prefect opened the verdict and read: "The prisoner Liu Hao, nicknamed Liu San'er." He was sentenced to beheading for committing homicide in accordance with the "Da Ming Law", and was beheaded when the frost fell after being reported to the Criminal Department for review of the emperor's approval. The onlookers applauded, and then the prefect read: "The prisoner Ma Yu, nicknamed Tumor, is Liu Hao's accomplice, who should have been sentenced to capital punishment, but he was sentenced to ten years in prison because he thought of his mistake and showed remorse." Hearing this, the heart that hung on the tumor finally settled down, originally thought that he would be sentenced to capital punishment like Liu San'er, but now he has only been sentenced to ten years, as long as he has a life, it is good no matter what, so he quickly knelt down and thanked him, and everyone else was also sentenced to imprisonment ranging from ten to one year.

After listening to the verdict, Liu San'er couldn't help but stand up and shout injustice, and was pressed to the ground by the yacha on the side and couldn't move, lying on the ground and shouting: "My lord, I have a reason for sparing my life, the woman's life is a mistake in the struggle, the villain has no intention, the woman and others insult the villain in every way, and the villain is only to scare her. Liu San'er desperately explained just to find a way to live.

After hearing this, the prefect said angrily: "Liu Hao, you don't want to do inaction again, you usually run rampant in the township, bullying and dominating the city, the government is benevolent and righteous, and I hope that you will change your life and hope that you will reform your life, I don't want you to change this and not repent, and now you have committed an unforgivable crime, if you confess your guilt, it will be fine, if not, you will be opened." After the prefect finished speaking, he no longer let Liu San'er quibble, so he let the messenger take him to the prison, and when he passed by the crowd, he saw Sun Youwei and others with a fierce look in his eyes, as if he wanted to eat them.

After hearing the verdict, everyone dispersed, Sun Youwei looked up to the sky and sighed and said: "Yizhu, do you hear, Liu San'er has been sentenced to capital punishment and will be beheaded in a few days, you can rest in peace." Yihe also said: "Sister, did you hear, the murderer has been sentenced to death, and you have revenge." Every time Yihe mentions Yizhu, tears flash in his eyes.

Several people turned around to walk towards Sun's mansion, but at this time, Yihe stopped in place and was unwilling to take another step. Sun Youwei stopped and looked at Yihe in surprise, Yihe didn't wait for Sun Youwei to speak, and said: "Brother Sun, I came this time to see the murderer sentenced to death, and secondly, to resign to you and the two sons, thank you Sun Gongzi for redeeming me and asking the little girl to worship." After speaking, he was about to make a big salute, Sun Youwei hurriedly stopped Yihe's big gift from paying homage, and asked, "Yihe, why are you doing this?" If there is any neglect in you, although I have promised Yizhu to take good care of you, you will naturally be like a sister. Zhou Jin also persuaded beside him: "Yihe, you can stay, my cousin said that he will definitely be able to do it, how can you be a little woman wandering outside to make people feel at ease, if there is a good one, how can my cousin explain to Yizhu." ”

Sun You looked at each other for a while, Yihe still insisted on his opinion and said: "Thank you for your kindness, I am bound to go out for a walk and get used to the days without my sister, and now I have prepared a carriage" He pointed to a carriage parked not far away, and then said: "Jinhua Mansion is a sad city for me, and I will only be sad and sad to stay Every time I think of the scene when my sister was killed, it is better to live happily for myself and for my sister." Sun Youwei said: "If you have to go out, I can't stop you, and the people who leave you can't keep your heart." It's better to wait like this, take care of the matter at hand in a few days, and then accompany you on the road, you see. Yihe hurriedly stopped: "Brother Sun is like this, Yihe may not come back if he goes, he used to have his sister to take care of, and now that my sister is gone, I should learn to take care of myself, and I hope that my eldest brother will not bear my sister's good intentions." ”

Sun Youwei sighed and said: "In this case, how can I force my sister to stay here, this time the journey is unknown, my brother wishes my sister a smooth journey, remember to come often to write to report safety!" Yihe said: "My sister will not forget my eldest brother's instructions, take care of my eldest brother!" The two sons say goodbye! After saying that, he got into the carriage without looking back.

"I can't imagine that Yihe, who is usually weak and weatherless, and the little bird Yiren will have such a resolute side." Zhou Jin said, Qingyu looked at Yihe's departing figure and said on the side: "Experience is a valuable asset, it can make people grow strong and have a deep feeling for things and things, presumably Yizhu's departure has changed her a lot." ”

Sun Youwei said gloomily: "I hope she will be smooth and safe this time, if she has a good one again, I really don't know how to face the passing Yizhu." The three of them rushed back with their own hearts, and all the noise on the road had nothing to do with a few people.
